Stir up a fresh take on iconic Disney Villains in this rich visual novel.
Enter the Cursed Café.
Step into a world where every cup holds a secret and every sip can change a destiny! As the newest Potionista at the Disney Villains Cursed Café, you’ll create enchanted blends for a cast of legendary figures—Cruella de Vil, The Evil Queen, Gaston, Captain Hook, Jafar, Maleficent, and Ursula—all reimagined in a modern, magical world.
Unravel their motivations.
Your choices influence their ambitions—will Gaston impress his golf bros? Can Hook steal the spotlight in community theater? Can Maleficent dominate social media? And will Ursula become a reality TV sensation? Uncover and influence the villains' stories with your potion creations.
With every sip, a world of possibilities.
Each villain arrives with a request, but what they truly need may be something entirely different. Using enchanted ingredients from your café and the brewing machine, craft magical potions to give each villain what they ask for, or a taste of what they need. With help from Yzma, you'll uncover rare upgraded ingredients to create enhanced magical elixirs influencing the stories' outcome. Will your signature potions bring them clarity, courage, or chaos?
A spellbinding experience awaits.
With stunning artwork, immersive storytelling, and a touch of alchemy, this visual novel invites you to explore the modern ambitions of these iconic villains. In this world of magic and mystery, every ingredient matters.
The Cast
Gaston
He's a strong-jawed, broad-shouldered, thick-haired man-mountain who crumbles without attention.
"I'll just rely on my physical superiority. It's never failed me before!"
Ursula
This Sea Witch will have the spotlight, even if it means pushing everyone else into darkness.
"I may have used potions but that doesn't diminish my TALENT! "
Captain Hook
Equal parts fearsome and fearful, Captain Hook wants to be seen for who he is...or for who he says he is.
"It would be dishonest if the World's Greatest Pirate did NOT lie."
Maleficent
The Mistress of All Evil wants to rule social media. But, will ALL evil be enough evil to do it?
"Potionista, I'm afraid such a weak potion has no effect on me..."
Jafar
The Royal Grand Vizier of Agrabah isn't a fan of democracy. But capitalism? He can work with that.
"Well dressed. Unfairly maligned. And rising above it all."
The Evil Queen
You could say the Queen takes what she wants. She'd say that she's the Queen - how dare you have it at all?
"I am a Queen. I do what must be done."
Cruella
To this fiery wealthy heiress, revenge is the highest form of self-expression. And she loves to express herself!
"And if there's one thing I never learn, it's MY LESSON!"
Yzma
This eccentric sorceress (or volatile chemist, depending on her mood) sells special potion ingredients.
"Let me put it this way…if I DON'T have it, you don't need it."

Disney Villains Cursed Café is the Modern AU of my dreams
Maybe I’m tapping into my own inner villain by enabling him, but hey, you don’t become the favorite potion brewer of some of the best Disney villains by playing hero.
Disney Villains Cursed Café is an unexpectedly tasty dose of daily fun
Developer Bloom Digital has made a difficult formula work, imbuing Disney Villains Cursed Café with a satirical awareness that makes it quite unlike any other Disney media I’ve consumed.
Disney Villains Cursed Cafe review – A quirky, fun visual novel for Disney adults
It’s so very Mickey’s House of Villains in approach, with Gaston and Maleficent cat-fighting, and Jafar being so dismissive of everyone. Ursula is as dramatic and smug as you’d expect, and Cruella is equally crazed.
How a Toronto indie developer made ‘Cheers’ for iconic Disney villains
A villain is generally considered to be pretty one-note. They’re bad. They want bad things. So when you’re given a cast of seven, you have to go, “Okay, well, they can’t all want the same one bad thing. We have to have them want seven different bad things, all based on their very unique motivations.”
